Sweet Studio

I had a remarkable class yesterday.

We started the day talking about theatre. More specifically we talked about making a puppet theatre for the puppets we made last week. We talked about the background, what our character/puppet needs? Where does s/he live? Children were given a large sheet of paper and the class turned into a painting studio. Children painted standing up with their canvas in front of them and painted until most of the paper was covered with paint. The goal was to transform the construction paper into a different world.

From there we moved into painting the theatre itself (a cardboard box.) And for the finale each child (3-6 yrs.) got up in front of their audience (each other) and presented their puppet in his/her world.
